First of all, I'm sorry it went so much time between v3 and v4 of this
patchset. I was hoping to finish this stuff up before all kinds of
other tasks started demanding my attention, but I didn't, so I had to
put it on hold for a while. Let's try again...

This patchset extends the DMA engine API to allow drivers to offer DMA
to and from I/O registers with hardware handshaking, aka slave DMA.
Such functionality is very common in DMA controllers integrated on SoC
devices, and it's typically used to do DMA transfers to/from other
on-SoC peripherals, but it can often do DMA transfers to/from
externally connected devices as well (e.g. IDE hard drives).

The main differences from v3 of this patchset are:
  * A DMA descriptor can hold a whole scatterlist. This means that
    clients using slave DMA can submit large requests in a single call
    to the driver, and they only need to keep track of a single
    descriptor.
  * The dma_slave_descriptor struct is gone since clients no longer
    need to keep track of multiple descriptors.
  * The drivers perform better and are more stable.

The dw_dmac driver depends on this patch:

and the atmel-mci driver depends on this series:

as well as all preceding patches in this series, of course.

Comments are welcome, as usual! Shortlog and diffstat follow.
